The intention here is to have no effect on pSeries except: 1) vio_register_device is renamed to vio_register_device_node to better reflect is purpose and to allow me to introduce vio_register_device_iseries. 2) I have introduced the name and type fields in struct vio_dev to make these two fields independent of subarchitecture.

Here is a patch against Linux 2.6.7 which fixes the sigmatch() macro to work for the relatively old processors as well, which have 'pf == 0' (processor flags as read from MSR 0x17), For example, the processors failing without this patch are Pentium II 300 MHz (Klamath) with family/model/stepping 6/3/4 and 6/3/3. The patch also contains minor cosmetic changes (to make source code more uniform). Signed-off-by:

<wim@iguana.be> (04/06/27 1.1770) [WATCHDOG] indydog.c-patch-20040627 * Fix: since we use the new module_param's: make sure that linux/moduleparam.h stays included * in the release code we can just use indydog_stop(); The ChangeSets can also be looked at on: http://linux-watchdog.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6-watchdogSigned-off-by:

Add console_stop() and console_start() methods so the serial drivers can disable console output before suspending a port, and re-enable output afterwards. We also add locking to ensure that we synchronise with any in-progress printk. Signed-off-by:

[This patch series has also been separately sent to the architecture maintainers] Add console_device() to return the console tty driver structure and the index. Acquire the console lock while scanning the list of console drivers to protect us against console driver list manipulations. Signed-off-by:

Convert the Japanese comments in arch/v850. I am not exactly 100% sure I translated it correctly since I have no idea what exactly was that NEC v850 evaluation board, but should be OK (say 95% sure). Acked by Miles Bader <miles@lsi.nec.co.jp> Signed-off-by:

The proposed patch uses the aux-vector to pass the fd of the open misc binary to the interpreter, instead of using argv[1] for that purpose. Previous patch - open_nonreadable_binaries, offered the option of binfmt_misc opening the binary on behalf of the interpreter. In case binfmt_misc is requested to do that it would pass the file-descriptor of the open binary to the interpreter as its second argument (argv[1]). This method of passing the file descriptor was suspected to be problematic, since it changes the command line that users expect to see when using tools such as 'ps' and 'top'. The proposed patch changes the method of passing the fd of the open binary to the translator. Instead of passing it as an argument, binfmt_misc will request the ELF loader to pass it as a new element in the aux-vector that it prepares on the stack for ELF interpreter. With this patch, argv[1] will hold the full path to the binary regardless of whether it opened it or not. Signed-off-by:

If a fault in the kernel leads to an unexpected protection fault whilst in a code path which holds mmap_sem we will deadlock in do_page_fault() while trying to classify the fault. By carefully testing the source of the fault we can detect and OOPS on the vast majority of these, greatly enhancing diagnosis of such bugs. Signed-off-by:

We're now putting 24-byte structures into .init.setup via __setup. But x86_64's compiler is emitting a `.align 16' in there, so they end up on 32-byte boundaries and do_early_param()'s pointer arithmetic goes wrong. Fix that up by forcing the compiler to align these structures to sizeof(long). Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@muc.de> Signed-off-by:

I'm hitting this problem because the module I want to load was compiled with -g, so the filesize is absolutely huge. kernel/module.c does a vmalloc() to inhale the entire file, and then two calls to module_alloc() (which calls vmalloc() on ia64) to load the 'init' and 'core' sections. The 'init' is small and slips into a gap early in the vmalloc playspace, while the 'core' area is allocated after the huge area that was allocated for the inhaled copy of the whole file. I made a one coding change to Jean-Marc's version, adding a check to see whether the init/core sections are close enough together for the PCREL21B to reach (they almost always are). I've kept the test that there are no jumps from core to init (though the message that is printed is almost as unhelpful as the one that you get when you statically link a module into the kernel that has calls to the discarded .exit section :-) This patch stalled out before on the question of whether a PLT was overkill for a section-to-section branch, and whether it would be better to use relaxation techniques to extend the range. Doing that might be more elegant in some way, but it needs a whole heap of extra code (to count how many relaxed branches need to be added and allocated them as needed). This seems a lot of extra code that is only ever going to be exercised by maniacs like me with 49MB .ko files. I fixed up the comments to be a little more heplful.

The Altix console driver has been replaced in Andrew's tree by a new one that uses the serial core API. Update the early_console_setup routine to use the new config option so that it's ready when the driver hits Linus' tree. This will also fix a build bug since the old driver hasn't been updated.

The packet scheduler simulates 64 bit jiffies on 32 bit platforms by running a timer keeping a mark and and offset. Since there is no locking and this is racy and doesn't handle jiffie wrap real well. We can use get_jiffies_64 on 2.6 do get what is needed. The downside is the overhead of a function call, and a cache miss in get_jiffies_64. Signed-off-by:

The last argument in the PSCHED_TDIFF_SAFE is no longer used; only usage eliminated by previous patch. It gets rid of a bad macro usage. Also, can use the standard min_t macro which also eliminates the macro problem of double evaluation of bound. Signed-off-by:

Stephen Hemminger authored
This code in the csz scheduler, is just plain broken. The TDIFF_SAFE effectively expands to: unsigned long delay = now - q->t_c; if (delay > 0) { delay = 0; goto do_reset; } if (delay >> q->delta_log) So delay is always 0! I assume that what was originally intended is the to keep delay bounded to 1<<q->delta_log. Signed-off-by: -

I don't think we're in K&R any more, Toto. If you want a NULL pointer, use NULL. Don't use an integer. Most of the users really didn't seem to know the proper type.

This fixes the issue where the Generic driver would bind to all usb-serial devices, so the disconnect would not properly go to the real driver that controlled the device. This was very bad when unloading the module with the device still connected. Signed-off-by:Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@kroah.com>

When CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT is not set 'result' variable in prio_classify is unused. Also I was looking over the rest of the module and had hard time understanding the logic in prio_enqueue - I rearranged it a bit for better readability. Plus there are some formatting changes. Signed-off-by:

Another patchlet after turning on preempt and rerunning tests. - against dev.c is a genuine bug - i wish preempt would have given a more sane hint. Strange on how its a non issue when preempt is off. - against act_api.c is just an annoyance. I removed the kmod because it will only make sense to list actions if policies exist for that action. And if policies exist, the module would be loaded. Signed-off-by:

Gcc 3.4 has a new DFA scheduler for ia64. Unfortunately, it is not well tested for Itanium 1. When I tried to use gcc 3.4 to compile 2.6 kernel configured for Merced, gcc failed in many places: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15598 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15653 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15655 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16130 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16142 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16143 Some of them have been fixed. But I am afraid many more remain. I don't know how many Itanium 1 machines left in production use. If people want to optimize kernel for Itanium 1, they can stick with the older gccs. Or they should upgrade their machines. I think the gcc developer's time should be better spent on somewhere else. I have been using this patch for a while, kernel seems to work OK. Signed-off-by:
